Trop Gun Shop was the first business to boycott the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show (aka Eastern Sportsmen's Show) Since then Cabela's and over 50 exhibitors have boycotted the show.

The show is often referred to as the largest sportsmen's show in the world. Every year, over 200,000 people file through the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex during the first week of February.

This year the promoter of the show, Reed Exhibitions, based in the UK, has prohibited the display and sale of tactical weapons and high-cap magazines.

This has never happened at the show in the past and is probably orchestrated by two of the sponsors of the show, Progressive Insurance and Comcast.

Please do business with the companies boycotting the show. They have already paid for their space and there is a no refund policy. The space is mega expensive.

I already showed my appreciation yesterday by driving out of my way to Trops to buy the last brick of small pistol primers that they had in stock and some .22 lr ammo.

The Commie Dems OWN this wave of voter wrath.

There will be nowhere to hide.

This will not simply “die down”.

Windham makes the best AR-15 in the U.S. for the money. I've got one on order that should arrive next month (hopefully).

Check out Windham's history and reputation. They are the best!

I am feeling very munificent this evening. I have nothing to gain other than my freedom and liberty - I already have multiple ARs. FRmail me and I will give you my contact information to snail mail or FedEx me your receipt from one of the boycotters during the week of the show ... Feb 2 to 10. I will hand deliver the receipts from all over the country/world, perhaps with my M4gery slung on my back and my M9 in a shoulder holster. If there is a large number, I will contact local news outlets to cover the delivery and their related national networks. The local FoxNews station has been following the boycott.

I expect this boycott to hit Drudge and national talk shows before the Sportsmen's show begins.

I don't ever do business with anti-Second Amendment bigots. I do business with people who stand up for America, so thanks, boycotters! The right thing to do is the right thing to do whether it's easy, hard, or somewhere in between.

No refund, schmo refund. They can't unilaterally change the product (exhibition space) in a way that diminishes its value to the buyer and expect the buyers to still be bound by THEIR obligations under the contract. IMO they should be found liable for not only the space cost, but also the lost profit that would have been made at the show had they honored the original agreement, assuming the original agreement didn't prohibit the sale of these items. It's called "benefit of the bargain".
